Message of Condolence from the President of Iona College

Dear Friends,

It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of William Falk, age 20, a resident student in South Hall. William passed away last evening at Sound Shore Medical Center.

Our prayers and sympathies are with William’s family and loved ones. Arrangements for William’s services will be communicated to the community once they have been prepared. A community prayer service is being held at 4PM today in the Arrigoni Center.

Please know that the services of the Counseling Center and Campus Ministries are available for all members of the Iona College community.  The College has made arrangements for our students, staff, and faculty to receive support at a McGrath Room B (The Robert V. LaPenta Student Union) and in the Counseling Center. 

Please direct all media inquiries to Dawn Insanalli, Director of Public Relations at 914-637-2726 or via email dinsanalli@iona.edu

Our thoughts and prayers remain with William’s family, his friends, and the entire Iona Community.

Sincerely,

Joseph E. Nyre, Ph.D.

President
